Question

Given that the straight line 2x + 3y-10=0 intersects the x - axis at P. Find the

Answer 1

Answer:

P(5, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Where the line crosses the x- axis the y- coordinate of the point P is zero.

Substitute y = 0 into the equation and solve for x

2x + 3(0) - 10 = 0 , that is

2x - 10 = 0 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5

Thus P = (5, 0 )
